temperatuuripidevuse
Temperatuuripidevuse, also known as temperature regulation or thermoregulation, is the process by which organisms maintain their internal body temperature within a certain range, despite variations in the external environment. This process is crucial for the survival and optimal functioning of most living organisms, as many biological processes are temperature-dependent.
In endothermic animals, such as mammals and birds, temperature regulation is achieved through a combination of
In ectothermic animals, such as reptiles, amphibians, and many invertebrates, temperature regulation is more dependent on
Plants also exhibit temperature regulation, although their mechanisms differ from those of animals. For example, some
Temperature regulation is a fundamental aspect of homeostasis, the maintenance of internal stability in an organism.
